The spatial equality of urban public services and their accessibility are a crucial aspect sustainability. However, there is currently lack composite proxy that can effectively assess service with fine granularity. To address this gap, we have developed new indicator based on the concept location dominance. This accumulates access opportunities to time-weighted decay function at granular level. Our findings reveal dominance in Shijiazhuang follows pronounced core–periphery pattern. Efficient travel modes significantly enhance increase equality, aligning people’s preferences. Additionally, discovered an extremely strong linear correlation between three key development elements (i.e., nighttime lighting data, land use intensity, population retention rate) discussion these confirms validity our method reliability results. Consequently, its outputs aid policymakers planners swiftly identifying subtle disparities for services, thereby promoting

Urban areas encompass essential social functions that are fundamental for the development and quality of life. This research explores why concept 15-minute city, while commendable in its aspirations, might fall short effectively mitigating urban inequalities, especially within densely populated segregated developing cities. Using Bogotá (Colombia) as a case study, this paper advocates develops standardized index based on availability walking distance. also integrates individual preferences, geographical attributes, pedestrian infrastructure. Doing so provides more comprehensive understanding factors influencing proximity, accommodating diverse needs various identities. Considering preferences towards proximity is critical to comprehend determinants accessibility, encompassing relevance sociodemographic characteristics. Although several worldwide may meet broad interpretation city concept, our reveals significant disparities among population segments regarding access services their prioritization. Our study found grocery stores healthcare facilities hold paramount importance across all segments. Furthermore, wealthy exhibit heightened preference retail shops commercial services. In contrast, low-income has considerably greater facilities. aims cast light upon structural inherent areas, thereby unveiling inequalities concept's capacity diagnose mitigate inequalities.

Cities, particularly megacities, face significant challenges in transitioning toward sustainability. Many countries have developed dual or multiple capitals for diverse purposes (e.g., political, administrative, economic, touristic, and cultural). Limited research exists on the ‘15-minute city’ (15-MC) concept, regions like Middle East North Africa (MENA region). This study evaluates application of ‘15-MC’ concept globally regionally to derive Urban Planning Principles (UPPs) indicators livability accessibility. Using a theoretical framework supported by site visits quantitative assessments, examines two districts NAC as case studies. Key UPPs proximity services, mixed-use development, public transport, green spaces, community engagement, local economy, sustainability) were evaluated along with walkability scores, bike infrastructure, environmental impact indicators. The results reveal that most services are accessible within 15-minute walk ride. However, essential facilities universities hospitals) exceed this threshold (20–30 min). area per inhabitant (17 m2/capita) meets WHO European recommendations. has clean, transportation 94.26 km cycling lanes.

The intersection of environmental justice and urban accessibility presents a critical challenge in sustainable city planning. While the “15-minute city” concept has emerged as prominent framework for promoting walkable neighborhoods, its implications exposure inequalities remain underexplored. This study introduces an innovative methodology assessing air pollution disparities within context 15-minute activity zones New York City. By integrating street-level PM2.5 predictions with spatial network analysis, this research evaluates patterns that more accurately reflect residents’ daily mobility experiences. results reveal significant socioeconomic racial exposure, lower-income areas Black communities experiencing consistently higher levels their walking ranges. A borough-level analysis further underscores influence localized development demographic distributions on outcomes. comparative demonstrates traditional census tract-based approaches may underestimate these by failing to account actual pedestrian patterns. These findings highlight necessity high-resolution assessments into planning initiatives foster equitable development.
